My cartooning career started at Fairfax, during the setting up of the Gold Coast Weekend Herald in 1993. I was invited to illustrate letters to the editor and the points of interest section 'InTouch'. Each week was a joy for me, reading letters and snipets of information inturn selecting 3 for illustration. I try to give my reader something humourous and informative to think about. My aim is have them realise a punch line then to feel satisfied having worked it out. I integrate second and hidden meanings in my toons.     PUMPKIN POWER; "Lady Flo Bjelke-Peterson has extended her culinery repetoire to a book of Classical Country Baking. The book is set to be launched at the ANA Hotel at a morning tea arranged by Angus and Robertsons. Naturally Pumpkin scones figure but so do a great many other recipes that are likely to cause waves of nostalgia for all who grew up in the era before anorexia became fashionable."
